Recruiting for Onsite Control!

Posted on Monday, February 13, 2023

We are recruiting for dedicated onsite control positions for particular festivals DC Site Services will be servicing in 2023. These include prominent festivals such as:

  • Glastonbury festival
  • Latitude festival
  • Leeds festival

This is a role which has been fulfilled by a good number of people over the past thirty years and requires an individual who is confident, adept on a radio, organised, and works well under pressure.

The role itself involves co-ordinating with staff onsite whenever they have a question or problem. This may involve finding answers to questions you haven’t received before or communicating with other companies control teams to organise responses to certain situations. You will also be keeping a computerised log of all communications and requesting hourly counts for traffic flow.

You will be communicating with new and returning staff regularly so being clear and concise on the radio and quick at finding out information will be important facets of the role.

A dedicated onsite control position at these events would include benefits such as:

  • Increased responsibility
  • Greater understanding of festivals from behind the scenes
  • Sitting during your shift!
  • A rate of pay that is the equivalent of a Team Leader (£11.92 + £1.44 holiday pay = £13.36 per hour)

Applicants must be able to work at all three above listed festivals in order to be considered. 

If you feel that you fit the bill, please email admin@dcsiteservices.com with your expression of interest, detailing any related experience you have.

We look forward to hearing from you!

 

I just wanted to send out a big thank you to you and your team for all the work you and the team put into helping make the traffic and transport operation work so well this year.

As it was a pleasure having DC site services as part of our team. I think the GFEL team of contractors is the envy of a lot of events in the way we all support each other and it was noted by some observers that stated the following :- 

"simply put, GFEL’s off-site traffic management plan was delivered and managed in a totally consistent and defensible manner that sought to promote good practice, collaboration and road safety to the benefit of all road users."

The DC are big part of that delivery and should take some of the credit for that delivery.
